Now in paperback, a joyous short story collection by and about
Muslims, edited by New York Times bestselling authors Aisha Saeed
and S. K. Ali Eid! The short, single syllable word conjures up a
variety of feelings and memories for Muslims. Maybe it's waking up
to the sound of frying samosas or the comfort of bean pie, maybe
it's the pleasure of putting on a new outfit for Eid prayers, or
maybe it's the gift giving and the holiday parties, or carnival
rides to come that day. Whatever it may be, for those who cherish
this day of celebration, the emotional responses may be summed up
in another short and sweet word: joy. Contributors include G.
Willow Wilson, Hena Khan, N. H. Senzai, Hanna Alkaf, Rukhsana Khan,
Randa Abdel-Fattah, Ashley Franklin, Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow,
Candice Montgomery, Huda Al-Marashi, Ayesha Mattu, Asmaa Hussein,
and Sara Alfageeh.

From two incredible rising talents comes the fantasy graphic novel
Molly Knox Ostertag calls "instantly compelling." A New England
Book Award and Harvey Award winner! Aiza has always dreamt of
becoming a Knight. It's the highest military honor in the
once-great Bayt-Sajji Empire, and as a member of the subjugated
Ornu people, Knighthood is her only path to full citizenship.
Ravaged by famine and mounting tensions, Bayt-Sajji finds itself on
the brink of war once again, so Aiza can finally enlist in the
competitive Squire training program. It's not how she imagined it,
though. Aiza must navigate new friendships, rivalries, and rigorous
training under the unyielding General Hende, all while hiding her
Ornu background. As the pressure mounts, Aiza realizes that the
"greater good" that Bayt-Sajji's military promises might not
include her, and that the recruits might be in greater danger than
she ever imagined. In this breathtaking and timely story, Aiza will
have to choose, once and for all: loyalty to her heart and
heritage, or loyalty to the Empire.
